Alexis brought something home from the grocery store this week, one of which was this new (I think) item from Philadelphia Cream Cheese
I thought it would make a good slather for a spatched bird. So I did one bird my usual way and slather another one with the creme spread under and over the skin, then salt and pepper. Cooked them both indirect at 350f on a raised grid for an hour-ish.
Near the end, they were both looking good so I thought I'd hit the cream cheese one with another brush of that stuff.
The usual one came out like this...
The cream cheese one...ummm....butt ugly!
So I took the normal one and served it with some grilled zucchini using Albukirky Rub (fellow Egger) & Mexican rice.
Don't worry, the cream cheese one didn't go to waste. I tossed the skin and shredded the meat because it was fine. I used it the next night in these enchiladas which were equally great.
But lesson learned. It was worth a try though!

Even a cook like that comes out smelling like a rose. So to speak.

Hi Chris,
Hope you are well.
I guess you never know unless you try!
The enchiladas look fantastic. We made a mole' out of some extra Pork Butt and the Mole. Well the leftover mole will be enchiladas this week!!
As normal the pics are great! -
Good save!

Yeah, I wasn't two worried since I was doing TWO birds and even if the one came out bad, I could always use the meat without the skin.Knoxville, TN

One out of two is not bad, and at least you salvaged the butt-ugly one :woohoo: . I have not seen this stuff either, but a friend told me about it yesterday. She sent me a recipe for Santa Fe Casserole (she got it from cookphillydotcom). She says its reall good stuff - I'll check it out. Thanks for posting the results

Funny....the enchilada recipe used their Sante Fe version, lol. It was okay, very good for the filling but it definitely needs a good enchilada sauce on the top/outside.
This one I did is still my favorite for that: http://www.nibblemethis.com/2010/11/can-canned-enchilada-sauce.htmlKnoxville, TN
